Visual artist, Sylvie Meunier collects vernacular photographs, a living material which she seizes and takes over to construct imaginary stories.

The story immerses the reader in an atmosphere that…

What defines Nigerian photographer Adebayo Joloaso's work is a sense of calm. His work has elegance and simplicity, making his photographs feel intimate and accessible, inviting us to live in their world. It is unsurprising, then, that photography has always simply felt right to Adebayo. It came into his life organically: his first camera was a Blackberry phone, and he used it constantly to take images of himself and his…

Hans P. Kraus Jr. Inc. presents the exhibition Paris : City of Light & Shadow. La Ville Lumière! Paris first earned the sobriquet, “City of Light,” as a center of learning during the Age of Enlightenment. In the early nineteenth century the advent of gas lighting brought the city’s streets and boulevards alive at night. Light, the very currency of photography, soon enabled Paris to become the first city to…

Today, she announces its closure in these terms: Historian, iconographer and artist, in 2006 I created the gallery Un livre – une image.

I think it is important to show, and above all to understand, the working approach that almost no one, through negligence, laziness or ignorance, practices anymore. It’s a shame and very damaging for the expression and photographic quality. Remember these sketches from all eras that we admire in the cabinets of some museums. These charcoal, Indian ink and other sanguine drawings that amaze us. These works are the studies done…
